In the title complex salt, [{(5-C5Me5)Rh}2(-Cl)3]PF6, the dinuclear, single-charged cation is formed by the cojoining of two classic (5-C5Me5)RhCl3 `piano-stool' units by bridging of the three choride ligand `legs'. The crystal structure shows several close HF contacts between the hexa­fluorido­phosphate counter-ions and the C5Me5 ligands.
